This mouse MDSC Flow Cocktail 2 is composed of CD11b, Ly-6C, and Ly-6G antibodies. MDSCs are a heterogenous population of cells that can affect T cell function. Two different subsets of MDSC exist: CD11b+Ly-6G+Ly-6Clow (granulocytic MDSC) and CD11b+Ly-6G-Ly-6Chi (monocytic MDSC). These cells have been identified in a variety of pathological conditions including cancer and autoimmune disease.
CD11b: CD11b is a 170 kD glycoprotein also known as αM integrin, Mac-1 α subunit, Mol, CR3, and Ly-40. CD11b is a member of the integrin family, primarily expressed on granulocytes, monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, NK cells, and subsets of T and B cells. CD11b non-covalently associates with CD18 (β2 integrin) to form Mac-1. Mac-1 plays an important role in cell-cell interaction by binding its ligands ICAM-1 (CD54), ICAM-2 (CD102), ICAM-4 (CD242), iC3b, and fibrinogen.
Ly-6G: Lymphocyte antigen 6 complex, locus G (Ly-6G), a 21-25 kD GPI-anchored protein, is expressed on the majority of myeloid cells in bone marrow and peripheral granulocytes.
Ly-6C: Most hematopoietic cells express one or more members of Ly-6 family. The expression of Ly-6 varies with development stage and activation. Ly-6C is a 14-17 kD GPI-linked surface protein expressed on mouse monocyte/macrophage cells, endothelial cells, neutrophils, and some T cell subsets. Ly-6C is reported to be an indicator of memory CD8+ T cells.
Each lot of these antibodies is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is 20 microL per million cells or 20 microL per 100 microL of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
